this country. Two kentuckians who
have been bellies at Wasnin ItOn this sea-
son have a particularly annoying grleV-
ance. Last fall they ordered several hand
some dresses from Worth, the man mod
lie of Paris. The dresses reached the New
York custom house in January. the du-
ties were $500, and although the money was
promptly sent the dresses did not reach
the owners until ten days before the ex-
plration of the season. AS the young
ladies were In constant demand at recep-
tions by day and night the delay was all
the more aggravating. Letters and teie-
grams were sent daily, but nothing APP
peared to produce the desired effect. The
only compensation the young ladies de-
rived from their disappointment was in
appearing in new and elegant toilets
when others were on The ragged edge,
their new gowns having been worn over
and over again since the season open
ed. Another provoking experience
OF a somewhat similar nature Is that
of wealthy lady of this city who for the
ten years preceding this winter has lived
abroad. Having built handsome resi-
dence here she determined TO make it her
home, and with this intention packed all
of her valuable works of art and bric-a-
brac which she had accumulated in the
Old World and shipped them to this city.
Among the costly purchases she made
during her sojourn abroad was "A
parlor chandelier, bought in Venice,
for which she paid $4,000. 1t
was shipped to this country in
January, and the duties, which amounted
to $3.50, were promptly paid upon its arri-
val in New York. When the hostess
gave her house. warming two days before
Ash Wednesday, the chandelier had not
reached Washington from New York,
journey of five hours. A temporary
chandelier was put up, and the one
bought in Venice, Which has twenty-five
burners, has just reached here. These
Nre only two instances in scores that
might be mentioned, and strong pressure
Ia being brought to bear to induce the
President to take steps to have these
YeXatiOus DELAYS remedied.

New Compress at Columbus.

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun has it
that the Central railroad has determined
to build another compress at Columbus.
1t is to be a counterpart of the one al
ready built there by the company, and will
be erected just north of it. 1t will cost
sos, 900, and means an increase to that
amount In the value of taxable property
in Columbus. 1t will give employment
to about 100 men during the cotton sea-
son. 1t is understood that work on the
new compress is to begin within the next
thirty days. 1t will be under the super
vision of Capt. S. j. Whlteside, superin-
tendent of congresses. 1t would seem
from this action on the part of the Cen
trail authorities that they do not intend
to make Columbus entirely way station.
They no doubt intend to compress there
all the cotton handled by the Mobile and
Girard, the Columbus and Rome and the
Columbus and Western railroads. Column
bus will be city of congresses when all
that are projected have been built.

Wrightsville and TeHnilIe Extension
The Dublin Post says: The extension
of the Wrightsville and TennIlle railroad
from this place to HawkInsville Is now
the topic of conversation in railroad cir
cles here. The president of the above
named road has shown us two letters
one from Gen. Alexander, President of
the Central road, and the other from a
business man Of Hawkinsville; both en-.
cOuraging. The former stated that he did
not know exactly to what extent the Cen
trail would help, but that she would do
her part. The latter said that the citizens
of his town had subscribed literally to
the projected Savannah, Dublin and Yves
tern road, and were waiting to see il it
would be built, and that so soon as they
found it was failure they would take
stock in the extension of this road to that
place. Now that blind man can see the
folly of possessing faith in the wind
Line" it may be expected that an ener-
getic move will soon be taken toward
extending the road from this place to
HawkInsville.

"Oh, it don't make a bit of differ.
enc to me-" she said. "Now. let me
see. There was something l wanted to
say. Oh, yes; l must know your other
name, for it would be horril to go by
the name of Mrs. Little Bill"
1--WE won't argy about that said
the dwarf.
"Oh. yes" said the widow, "there is
something else that must be settled.
The firm must be broke up. No mat
ter how friendly you all are now, there
mout come a time when Big Bill, seein,
how happy ! am maxim you, would git
dissatisfied, so one Of you, it makes no
different which, must leave"
This idea met with approval, and an
other game of poker decided that Big
Bill must leave. The next day a salts
factory settlement was made, and Big
Bill, mounted on II reddish mule, rode
away. His travels ceased when he
reached a lonely region of Georgia, and
there he settled down,
Several years elapsed, when, one
evening as Big Bill was sitting on q
stumpby the side of a grass-grown road,
q canvas-covercd wagon came in sight.
and, as it drew near, Bill saw the tow
heads of several children protruding
from under the covering. He got up
and was on the eve Of turning away,
when q man ran around from the other
side of the wagon.
IVY, hello, Little Bill!' the giant
exclaimed.
"Stay where you air." said the dwarf,
fur it's all l ken do to keep from
shootin' you.'
"W'y, what on the face o the yeth is
the matter, my ole friends"
"Jes this: I believe you let me win
that woman on purpose"
"Tend to yore business, Little Bill,
an don't talk to ever ragtag and bob
tail you meet, OF I'll whale you agin.

The giant, recognizing the voice.
said: '.Podner, Pm sorry for you, an l

CARE OF FARM HORSES.
Why They should Receive = Thorough
Cleaning Every Evening.

Too many farmers fail to realize the
beneficial effects of thoroughly clean
ing their horses after the days work is
over. In many cases their horses are
placed in the stable at night sweaty
and dusty. and when the roads are not
dry. with their legs covered with mud.
and left to stand till morning without
cleaning. This certainly does not pro-
mote the health and comfort Of the am
imals. and whatever prevents these
causes q loss to the owner. Many
stables have only a dirt floor, and
where the horse is net placed in a box
stall, such floors are difficult to keep
dry and clean. and are apt to
be neglected. 30 that the horse stands
constantly in filth. This soon affects
the feet. and the horse has to be treated
for thrush. scratches and other diseases
resulting from the neglect menti oned.
The proper are Of the feet is 4 most
important matter, for with these un-
sound, tho horse is liable to be 500 rcn-
dered unfit for even farm work, where
he travels on soft ground, and on the

HOW TO WRITE.
Sensible Suggestions for Embryo Seekers
After Literary Fame.

Sensible Suggestions for Embryo Seekers
After Literary Fame.
The first thing in writing is to have
something to say. Now every body
can talk, or nearly every body; and it
is pleasant to sit and chat with a
friend about the weather, and the
fashions, and what Mrs. Mulligan had
for dinner; but if all this talk was
printed in a book. you wouldn't care
to read it. So there is q difference be-
tween speaking and writing. If you
expect people to read what you write,
it must be something more interest
ing than common talk. l don't say
the words must be longer and o
highsounding. l don't say any thing
yet about the words; l haven't got to
that. only say that the subject must
be more interesting than ordinary
gossip. Or, ifyou are going to write
about common things. you must be
able to tell more about them than
most people know. You a
write about the weather il
you have watched it careful
ly for ten years, and lived out doors
most of the time. where you could 10
ticc a great many things that other
people never see about the clouds. and
the stars and the winds. But II you
haven't had this experience, don't try
to write about that subject.
Never try to write at a subject you
don't know any thing about. and never
try to write at what every body knows
ali about already. Write something
new. All! That is the hard part Of it;
to find something new to write about;
something that you know all about.
and nobody knows any thing about.
You must keep your eyes open. and
perhaps you will see some things that
no one else ever noticed, or perhaps
you will think some new thoughts
about things that Others have seen; or
perhaps you will think the same things
that others have thought. only they
have never expressed their thoughts.
In any Of these cases you may have
something to say that is worth saying.
But don't imagine that people will
read what you write II you 60 to say
ing the same old things over again. in
the samc old way that they have read
and read until they are tired Of them.
I'll tell you one thing not to do. When
you read a story or a poem that you
think is bright or beautiful. don't say
10 yourself: ''Oh! I'll 60 and write
just like that" Don't try
TO write any thing just like somebody
II you have any ideas Of your
own, write them; and then you must
make a practice Of reading a COOL deal
the best books, from which you will
see whether they have said the same
.hings you have. just as . man who has.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Moisture is essential to fertility.
TO be carefully done-grafting.
The most economical preparation
for the crop is to bring the soil to a
fine filth.
Even in warm weather a hot mess
will be relished by the pigs, and will
promote their health.
IT the hog, have no pasture to run
in. they should be given plenty of
freshly-cut grass, weeds, oats, corn. or
any thing else they like. -Prairie
Farmer.
There is always fair demand for
the best products of the soil. and
when then they are obtained by skill
full management there is also a fair
margin of profit. Farm, Field and
Stockman.
-Apiarists agree that the bees, il
left to themselves, will complete from
seventy to ninety per cent. of the Sec
tons given them. and may by force
ing be made to complete them all.
To harden wood pulleys. Soft ma
pie Is often used in the construction Of
friction pulleys. If it is boiled in olive
oil it will prove beneficial in a number
of ways. 1t will harden the timber and
render it less liable to split, and at the
same time the gear will slip more after
such tire atment.
If a hen only lays one egg a week
for a year it will pay for her food, and
every additional egg is a clear profit,
says a writer. II a hen lays three eggs
q week she will give double the profit
derived from a hen that lays two eggs.
The greater the number of eggs the
cheaper the cost of producing in pro-
portion. - Cincinnati Times.
Weeds multiply very rapidly. The
number of seeds each plant is capable
of producing is estimated as follows,
Dandelion, 1000 shepherds purse,
$1,000; pepper grass, $4,000; wheat
thief, 1000; common thistle. 65, 900;
chamomile, 5000; ragweed, 5000;
butter weed, 5000; purslaine, $685.
600; plantain, $4,000. and burdock,
43, 900.
The Rural World dilates on the
%desirability of employing married men
as farm lab0rcrs. A married man will
be less addicted to dissolute spendthrift
habits he will do more and better
work than an unmarried man, having
more incentives to labor and taking
more pleasure in his work. Besides.
who can estimate the advantages of
having the farm help cared for outside
the farmers family.
Now is the time when the best care
Of your working stock will pay you
best. Groom your horses daily and
thoroughly. Rub them dry, il they
come in wet. Feed carefully and with
judgment. Give them water freely
only when cool. 1t is not a bad idea
to set a pail Of water in the horses
hangers at night. especially when
they do not drink freely if offered wa
ter at that time.-Our Country Home.
The Live Stock Journal says that
it would be as reasonable to expect
good bread from flour made of dam
aged grain as pure milk from cow
with rations of food tainted by age or
soured through exposure to heat and
moisture. The putridity contained in
decaying food enters and poisons the
blood, and it is from the blood that
the milk is extracted in the udder.
Let no man hatter himself hat the de
g~estive organs can separate the pu-
tridity, casting it aside; on the other
hand. the damaged material goes
wherever the blood goes-to the lungs,
liver, kidneys and udder. and in the
latter enters the milk.
